ORIGINAL: LadyLupineNYC Come come...there is more than enough negativity to go around on this post from all sides. First things first, I'm glad to see you back!!! Second, I've found a sure-fire way to avoid 99% of flames is to be positive in attitude when possible, and to be factual 100% of the time. Stating something like, "This sucks, what are you-all going to do about it," is not a way to win support, either online or in real. I am sure you know this, and frankly I feel all warm inside because you stepped in to defend your boy -- yeah, my MasterCard will be revoked at the end of the month for that -- so I'm not going to get too on your case about things. You might notice, though, that (1) he has not responded to me, and I didn't insult him once, even though he made statements which were inflammatory and false; and (2) he has not apologized or restated anything, even though another poster apologized, and you apologized "for" him. Bottom line: this whole thing would be more productive if people would deal with facts and data, and not worry about someone's inner motivation. I promise, their motivations will become apparent after they open their mouths and talk for a while.
